The Audo in Copenhagen is the most elevated community work space and hotel concept you’ve probably ever seen.
The first thing that you notice when you walk into The Audo, which is situated in an up-and-coming neighborhood in Copenhagen’s seaport district called Nordhavn, is that there is no sign-in area. There’s no iPad, no camera to capture your photo for a pass, no host asking whether or not you are a member or a guest of a member.
There is a shop, too, selling kitchenware, books, clothes, linens, and more. The restaurant, which will host temporary pop-up concepts and chefs, is currently called Birkemosegaard Køkken and serves a vegetable-focused, farm-to-table dinner menu. And of course, because it’s Scandinavia, everywhere you look the design is superb. At one point, the building housing The Audo was an old merchant house which was completely transformed by Norm Architects early last year.
Inside the bathroom, a charcoal colored marble tub-in-shower was situated next to a small attic window, as well as a separate double sink and a smart toilet. The towels and robe were provided by Tekla, one of Copenhagen’s coolest linen brands of the moment. By New York standards at least, the suite felt like a nice-sized, light-filled apartment that had more hygge than anyone could dream of. The top floor of The Audo, where all of the suites were located, was quiet too.
After settling into my room, I went back downstairs to enjoy a snack, the Danish way: a cappuccino, several pieces of fresh sliced sourdough, a square of fresh butter and paper-thin slices of cheese. A well-dressed couple next to me was also enjoying coffee, looking at their phones and not speaking. A young man nearby typed away on a Mac, as did a few young patrons seated at the communal tables upstairs near the library.
